It’s a big week for GGOOLLDD, to say the least. The band will be headlining a show with Har Mar Superstar at Turner Hall Ballroom this Friday night, and in advance of that, today they’ve released an epic eight minute video for their latest single, “Undercovers”. The Savannah Ziemann-directed video shows the band’s RV breaking down, and trouble ensues from

Strolling into Turner Hall last night, I was slightly overwhelmed by the loud chatter and excitement on the faces of a diverse crowd lined up on the stairs entering Turner Hall. Once everyone is ushered into the dark room, the pale pink tree-printed backdrop and chrome accents on the stage catch my eye. It is young Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora Aksnes’

It feels very good to say that there’s new GGOOLLDD music out today. Earlier this week, the band premiered the single on 88Nine RadioMilwaukee, along with announcing a headlining gig at Turner Hall featuring Har Mar Superstar and Flint Eastwood on December 2nd. In around three years as a band, GGOOLLDD has elevated to become the synth-pop darlings of the
Read moreMarian Hill played at Turner Hall in Milwaukee on Wednesday, Oct. 5. Two openers, SHAED and VERITE, began the night with indie pop that grazed electronic. Although both great performances, there was something missing that turned me into a Will-Ferril-SNL-esque monster, yelling: more saxophone – it needs more saxophone. Cue Marian Hill. I don’t remember when I first heard Marian
Read moreWye Oak played at Turner Hall Ballroom Tuesday, Aug. 2. It is a band I listened to constantly throughout college, kind of a darker indie rock duo that gained tons of traction through the song “Civilian” on its 2011 album named the same. I want to say it was used in a Walking Dead teaser. Don’t quote me on that.
Read moreLast night, Icelandic rock group Kaleo made their sequel appearance to a sold-out Turner Hall in a glorious way. Kaleo shatters everything you think you know about Icelandic music by ditching all the weird shit that made Bjork famous and in exchange giving us good old American style rock/blues. It’s clear who this band draws their influences from by creating their
Read moreMilwaukee glam-pop band GGOOLLDD is starting off 2016 on a high note, coming off the release of both their “For The Night” EP and the “Gold+” vinyl release on Gloss Records before the end of the year. Their latest offering is the videos for “Dance Through The Winter” in which the band does, well, exactly that. If you’d like to
Read moreOh, Best Coast. You are so dreamy. I can’t quite remember when I first heard their music, but I think my sister described the California-raised indie pop duo as “a girl who smokes weed all day and loves her cat.” Cue angels singing. Of course, she was referring to Bethany Cosentino, the singer, songwriter and vocalist of Best Coast, who

One of Milwaukee’s most buzzed about bands right now is GGOOLLDD, an energetic dose of electro-pop with a touch of glam rock. The group both recently announced and subsequently released their “For The Night” EP within the past week, and it definitely lives up to the hype as the follow up to their impressive “$tandard$” EP that helped create their
Read moreEarlier this week, we had the privilege of speaking with Kevin Lyman, founder of the Vans Warped Tour. Kevin was in town for a speaking engagement at Turner Hall Ballroom, and was nice enough to sit down with Noelle Searles to go over a wide variety of subjects, including the early years of Warped, awkward moments with Pete Wentz backstage,
